Posters in a Minute
We are asking the main author to orally present a PDF version of their abstract in a strict one-minute summary called “Posters in a Minute”. Our goals are to increase visibility of STA members’ research and to familiarize the audience with the author’s work so they can ask more questions during the traditional breaks with posters.
